Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Richard Chavez

The work I create incorporates creating hand fabricated pieces 18k gold and some silver. Each piece is cut, filed, and soldered together creating a frame for semi-precious stone lapidary work. My pieces incorporate jades, agates, lapis, coral, and some turquoise among others. Each stone is cut and polished individually before setting it into place within the gold or silver design.
